I agree it is bound to be a M-B O303 chassis, and that the body looks like a Padane. However, I've never seen (and can't find a picture of) a Padane body with such a long sloping roof/window line. The sloping roof was a characteristic feature of Padanes of this era, but usually it was much shorter and forward of the front axle (i.e. about half the length of the sloping roof on this one). Perhaps it's just a less common variant, but does anyone know of a photo of this style elsewhere? |

@Lowlander: Yeah, it does look strange! When this show was current, I collected bus brochures and I seem to recall Padane answered my request by sending me some of theirs. I will check what they sent me back then and post an update in case the variant seen above comes up. Edit: No, doesn't appear anywhere in the brochures Officine Padane S.p.A. of Modena sent me back then.  -- Last edit: 2021-11-24 23:31:09 |

@JB, those pictures show the usual Padane body with a short section of sloping roof forward of the front wheelarch, but the one in the image above has a much longer sloping roof that is almost a third of the length of the body. Also, on looking closer I think the one in the image above has what appears to be a vertical window/door pillar on the opposite side, whereas on Padane bodies the pillar was usually raked back at the same angle as the windscreen. If it is a Padane body it is apparently quite an unusual/uncommon one, so it would be useful to find a photograph of one like it to confirm exactly what it is. Edit: After some searching I think it is a Garbarini body: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jhm0284/16706180476/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jhm0284/16545969319 -- Last edit: 2021-11-25 14:08:30 |
